Former Texas Longhorn D.J. Monroe signs with Tampa Bay

The oft-underused D.J. Monroe signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, one of 13 undrafted free agents to join Greg Schiano’s team.

At Texas, Monroe averaged 13.4 yards per touch from scrimmage. He set the school record for most career kickoff returns for touchdown (3) and is No. 2 all-time in kickoff return yardage. Strangely, however, Monroe was little more than a situational player, much to the frustration of fans. He never had more than 48 carries in a season and didn’t catch a pass in his junior or senior years.
